Guns, blood, drugs, and violence. What more can you ask from Quentin Tarantino’s masterpiece Pulp Fiction? Released in 1994, Pulp Fiction is a crime drama that starred John Travolta, Uma Thurman, and Samuel L. Jackson. Boasting a mix of humor and violence presented through Tarantino’s trademark non-linear style, Pulp Fiction won several awards and was a big commercial success.

The plot begins when Pumpkin (Tim Roth) and Honey Bunny (Amanda Plummer) are in a diner, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of bank robbing. They then stood up and robbed the diner instead. Throughout the movie, the audience is bombarded with gory and violent scenes in which director Quentin Tarantino is known for. The plot is divided into seven sub-narratives. Both the prologue and epilogue are shot at the diner. According to Tarantino, breaking a film’s linear structure makes it more captivating. The audience somehow “chases” a film with a non-linear structure in order to keep up with the events. Along with plenty of homages to other flicks and pastiche, Tarantino was indeed successful in hooking the audiences through Pulp Fiction.

Despite being an indie film, Pulp Fiction was able to earn a domestic gross revenue of $107.9 million. As an influential cinematic piece, Pulp Fiction is a cult flick that opened the doors for other movies that seem to glorify violence and drugs. To solidify the movie’s cult status, Pulp Fiction was hailed as the 94th movie in the American Film Institute’s 100 Best American Movies list.

If Pulp Fiction is your all-time favorite flick, then a movie shirt depicting John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, and a big old gun should be part of your collection. A white shirt with a black-and-white image of the two main characters set against a colorful background, this retro movie shirt captures the best of Pulp Fiction.

If you’re into mafia flicks, then The Godfather is the ultimate movie.

A masterpiece by Francis Ford Coppola, this iconic movie was based on a book of the same name authored by Mario Puzo.

Through this movie, the then unknown Al Pacino became a sensation. The Godfather movie catapulted his career into the spotlight and his acting prowess was recognized by critics and audiences.

Because Francis Ford Coppola was able to create a mafia movie with such psychological complexity and depth, the movie became a box office hit and earned several Academy Awards. Marlon Brando was actually awarded the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading role while the movie won several Academy Awards for Best Writing and Best Picture. It’s legacy as the ultimate mafia movie was solidified when it was hailed by the American Film Institute as the 2nd greatest film in the nation’s cinematic history.

As a very influential crime movie, The Godfather has opened doors for other masterpieces that depict mobster life. Due to the movie’s hit success, The Godfather: Part II and The Godfather: Part III were released. In popular culture, The Godfather is still a favorite topic. Several movies and TV shows continue to reference The Godfather through visual images, parodies, satires, and quotations.

You may not be able to kiss Vito Corleone’s hand as a gesture of respect but you can certainly show your appreciation by wearing a movie shirt depicting the iconic puppeteer logo. Plus, the movie shirt’s black-and-white theme perfectly captures the film’s dark and somber ambiance. If you’re a fan of mafia movies, a movie shirt of The Godfather is definitely a worthy addition to your collection.

Stuck in a dead-end job? Then Office Space is the perfect movie for you. A masterpiece by Mike Judge, Office Space is full of witty and sarcastic dialogue that made it a cult flick. The story behind Office Space revolved around Peter Gibbons (portrayed by Ron Livingston) and his increasing disappointment with his dead-end job. As an employee working at a software company, he gets bored with his work and gets fed up with his nemesis, insincere office manager Bill Lumbergh (Gary Cole). Due to a series of unusual events, however, Peter Gibbons was able to transfer to a more fulfilling job in the construction industry.

Office Space wasn’t a box office hit but it is definitely a classic cult flick that reflected common themes and issues among generic employees and office workers. As a result, the movie introduced unforgettable lines, jargons, and stereotyped characters in the workplace. As a proof of the movie’s cult flick status, several jargons have actually entered real-life office environments. Such jargons include “TPS report” which refers to pointless paperworks, the phrase “a case of the Mondays,” and “pieces of flair” which refers to worthless trinkets worn by Joanna (Jennifer Aniston) as a job requirement. Several commercials and TV shows have also made references to Office Space due to the movie’s cultural impact.

If you think your personality has been stamped out by an emotionless corporation, grab a movie shirt featuring Gary Cole as he portrays an emotionless and insincere boss while holding a mug. Along with Gary Cole’s image is an unforgettable line from the movie that reads “Um… Yeah… I’m Gonna Need You to Come in on Saturday.” An ode to stereotypical bosses who enjoy small, superficial talk with their employees, this movie shirt is the perfect get-up when your boss requires you to work on a Saturday.

With plenty of action, superheroes, and villains who just seem to resist death, the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is definitely one summer flick that has received mixed reactions from critics and audiences. As a sequel to the 2005 Marvel comic flick Fantastic Four, director Tim Story was again the brains behind the second movie.

The plot picks off two years after the first movie. Sue Storm (Jessica Alba) and Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd) have decided to tie the knot when a silver surfer (Doug Jones) appeared and started to cause havoc on earth. The second Fantastic Four flick mainly revolved around the quartet’s adventures as they switched powers and battled the Silver Surfer to save earth. Movie highlights included the final showdown between Doom and the combined forces of The Thing and the Human Torch.

Despite the mixed reviews the flick received from various critics, it was able to hold the number one spot during its first weekend at the U.S. Box Office. Intrestingly, the total domestic gross garnered by the movie just roughly covered the budget. The domestic gross amounted to a total of $131.9 million while $130 million was the budget.

You may not possess a cosmic-powered surfboard but having this awesome movie shirt can make your wardrobe more cosmic.

For a movie that’ll let you temporarily forget your problems, Borat is probably a good choice. Brimming with hilarious slapstick comedy and wacky scenes that’ll make you cringe with embarrassment, Borat is an original and revolutionary comedy flick. A unique mockumentary of a reporter from Kazakhstan, Borat explores America by “unintentionally” offending innocent citizens through his hilariously rude Kazakhstani way.

The character Borat originally appeared in the Comedy Nation although still unnamed. With the success of Cohen’s other alter-ego — Ali G, Cohen brought Borat back into character.

Between the scene wherein Borat mangles the national anthem and the unforgettable “fight scene” wherein Borat wrestles with his overweight sidekick while wearing nothing, this movie definitely deserves all the attention.

Through this movie, Borat was able to create a unique satire about stereotypes and common prejudices that many Americans have towards other cultures. To fully enjoy this movie, you have to look beyond Borat’s funny accent, broken English, and bad toilet habits. Many of the scenes and dialogues may seem offending but when you look at the movie in a deeper way, you will see the reality behind prejudices and cultural stereotypes. Borat’s character aimed to point out ridiculous prejudices and cultural stereotypes that have shaped the American culture. Unfortunately, his method of pointing out such prejudices through a mockumentary raised not only eyebrows but also touched the nerves of several organizations and cultural groups. Despite lawsuits and complaints from various groups however, Borat was very successful in his goal.

To make the movie-watching experience more memorable, don on a movie shirt depicting Borat while carrying his bag and a miniature American flag. While wearing the “very nice” movie shirt, reminisce all those wacky scenes, that mind-boggling fight scene between Borat and his loyal sidekick, and hilarious dialogues that made Borat a one-of-a-kind character.

Who could forget Sylvester Stallone and his rippling muscles greased with sweat and who knows what? If you’re into action-filled flicks about protagonists who love to kill and shoot his enemies with a huge gun, then Rambo is definitely a perfect addition to your movie collection.

A brainchild of novelist David Morrell, the Rambo movie series catapulted Sylvester Stallone’s career into the spotlight. A story about war veteran John James Rambo, the first film revolved around Rambo’s after-war adventures as he tries to live a normal life after a violent and war-driven lifestyle in Vietnam. Aided with superb fighting skills and unmatched physical strength, Rambo is an icon of extreme violence and aggression. Rambo’s adventures continued through a series of sequels, with the latest Rambo movie still in it’s pre-production stage.

If you can’t get enough of Rambo trivia, this fictitious character was born July, 1947 to a mother with German roots and a father with native American roots. As a highly distinguished soldier, Rambo was given several awards. These awards included the Medal of Honor, a Bronze Star, a Soldier’s Medal, an Expert Weapons qualification badge, an Army Service Ribbon, and other recognitions that made him a formidable force to his enemies. In Rambo: First Blood Part II, his fictional social security number was shown — 936-01-1758.

When watching reruns or DVDs of Rambo, the perfect outfit is a movie shirt depicting a shirtless Rambo with his big gun. Along with the iconic image is a slogan that reads “Forget the Tickets… Here’s the Gun Show” with two arrows pointing at Rambo’s rocket launcher. If you want to take a trip back in time when Rambo ruled, this movie shirt is perfect for you. Also a perfect gift for someone known for his Rambo-esque attitude.

A war flick that starred Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe, Tom Berenger, Keith David, Kevin Dillon, Johnny Depp, and John C. McGinley, Platoon is based on the Vietnam War. A masterpiece by Oliver Stone, this war movie was his answer to The Green Berets, another war flick by John Wayne. Due to the movie’s stunning portrayal of the effects of war on the psyche of soldiers and the moral ambiguity as a result of warfare, Platoon earned several Academy Awards — Best Picture, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, and Best Director.

The plot involved a group of soldiers belonging to different squads who were assigned to the 25th Infantry Division in Vietnam. Throughout the movie, the audience is exposed to the horrors of war and the violence inflicted not only by the Viet Cong but also by some American soldiers. The release of this film in 1986 was very apt. During the eighties, the general attitude towards veterans of the Vietnam war has softened.

To solidify the movie’s status as an influential cinematic piece, Platoon was hailed by the American Film Institute as the 86th flick in its 100 Best American Movies list.

If you’re into movie trivia, Platoon was actually shot in Luzon, Philippines during the time of then President Ferdinand Marcos. A scheduled film production was almost canceled due to the political tension between Ferdinand Marcos and his political opponents. Fortunately, the scheduled shoot was not canceled because a well-renowned producer in Asia helped out.

If you love Oliver Stone movies or you’re a die-hard fan of Platoon, a movie shirt depicting Charlie Sheen’s war helmet is the best accessory for you. In this movie shirt, Charlie Sheen’s helmet is placed upside-down above the film’s title. The helmet actually reads “When I die, bury me upside-down, so the world can kiss my ****.”

If you can’t get enough of violent movie scenes mixed with profanity, then Reservoir Dogs is definitely a good option. A movie by Quentin Tarantino, Reservoir Dogs was actually his debut flick as a director. This movie introduced Tarantino’s style as an auteur — homages to other films and pop culture, violent scenes, unforgettable dialogue, profanity, and a non-linear movie structure.

The story behind Reservoir Dogs revolved around a group of criminals who botched up a jewelry store heist. The film was praised for its ensemble cast starring Tim Roth, Harvey Keitel, Chris Penn, Michael Madsen, Lawrence Tierney, and Steve Buscemi. As a director/ actor, Tarantino also had a role in the movie — Mr. Brown. An interesting feature that made this film unforgettable is the fact that the actual jewelry store heist was never shown. The entire film revolved around the events before and after the heist, reflecting Tarantino’s use of non-linear structure. The initial reason why the actual heist was never shown was budget constraints. However, Tarantino really liked the idea of not showing the actual heist that it became a unique feature of Reservoir Dogs.

In its first week in the U.S., Reservoir Dogs earned $147,839. The movie became popular after the success of Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction. As a cult flick, Reservoir Dogs influenced other movies that glorify violence, gory scenes, drugs, and profanity. As a collection of homages to various films and pop culture references, Reservoir Dogs showcases scenes from Ringo Lam’s City on Fire.

Aside from having a DVD copy of this flick, a movie shirt that features an unforgettable scene from Reservoir Dogs is a must-have. Set against a plain gray background, the black-and-white image of the iconic Mexican standoff between two members of the ensemble cast stands out. Also a perfect gift for Tarantino fans.

Want a movie that will guarantee a nightmare? Then Zack Snyder’s remake of George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead is the perfect before-bedtime flick. Brimming with flesh-eating zombies and gory scenes, this horror flick will make you stay on the edge of your seat throughout the entire movie.

The plot starts when a nurse goes home after a long shift at the local hospital. The following scenes are probably some of the most memorable ones, making Dawn of the Dead one of the most decent zombie flicks ever made. The story continues as the nurse (portrayed by Sarah Polley) and fellow survivors seek refuge in a mall. Blood-splattering, flesh-eating, and gun-shooting scenes make the flick a worthwhile watch. At the end of the movie, the viewers are left with a hanging question — will the survivors make it?

The Dawn of the Dead remake received mixed reviews from audiences and critics. However, Zack Snyder’s version was able to gain commercial success. This flick is actually one of the few zombie movies that were able to earn more than $100 million at the international box office.

Compared to George A. Romero’s original masterpiece, this remake definitely had more aggressive zombies. The flesh-eating zombies in the 2004 Dawn of the Dead are reminiscent of the zombies in 28 Days, a British horror flick that featured humans consumed by the rage virus.

If you want to reminisce all those flesh-eating scenes with blood-curling images of zombies pursuing their victims, then grab a movie shirt that features a green-glowing logo of Dawn of the Dead. Complete with an image of a half-decaying zombie’s head, this movie shirt is definitely an eerie addition to your wardrobe. Also a perfect gift for Zack Snyder fans and for those who can’t get enough of zombie flicks.
